简要总结
Menopause is defined as the permanent cessation of menstrual cycles due to ovarian follicle depletion, typically occurring after age 50, and is associated with decreased estrogen levels. Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) involves early ovarian dysfunction before age 40, with infertility as a key concern. Both menopause and POI may contribute to psychological symptoms, including anxiety and depression, influenced by sociodemographic and health factors. While literature reports anxiety in middle-aged women, data on its association with menopausal timing are limited. This study aims to compare women with POI and those undergoing natural menopause after age 40, assessing the relationship between age at menopause, anxiety, and depression, as well as the impact of fertility expectations on psychological well-being in POI patients.
